Abstract :
It was investigated the effect of using different levels of Organic Selenium (Se) on growth performance, carcass quality and its concentration on muscle in broiler chicks. In order to reach this goal 900 unsexed chicks ROSS-708, 0 day old, divided in three equal groups were used, for which the same diet was used. While in the control group (C) the level of Selenium in diet was 0.0, experiment group 1 (E1) was supplemented with 0.4 mg/kg Se, while experiment group 2 (E2), 0.4 mg/kg in the first three weeks and 0.8 mg/kg in the the last two weeks. The study lasted 35 days and was divided in two phases. At the end of this study it resulted that diet usage of different levels of selenium showed no effect on the growth performance. Adding the dosage of selenium showed only a slight vantage in the weight of muscles, skin and bones. At the end of each stage it was analyzed the content of selenium in meat in the Lab. The results showed that with the addition of selenium level in the diet it was also increased its deposit in muscles (P?0.05). Treated group in the second stage with 0.8 mg/kg Se was distinguished for a higher concentration of selenium in the muscles, respectively: in the white muscles 70% more than of C and 27.5% more than of E1, and in the red muscles 72.2% more than C and 29% more than E1.
